Love this game 11/10 and yes the game is "Spicy" But geninuly enjoy this game, the characters, the history and the combat
BUT I FOUND A BUG
is not a bad bug,just a visual bug and is bcs i like fear and hunger termina......... What does this have to do with the game you may ask? Well everything And is beacuse The images changed places in the Taskbar, I swear I don't touch anything and they changed themselves
(For people who don't know the imagen of grove should be purple )
Ah... yes, this is kind of an RPG Maker bug, not a Grove specific thing. I don't know that there's much we can do about it ourselves, but thank you for bringing it up anyway.
Hey, in grove, im at the sandstorm, and my save is stuck because when i take any steps i die of thirst but i have no other saves other than restarting... i really dont want to restart but i dont think there is any way to recover though i have no water... and i cant even teleport!
Please if theres anything you can do ive been playing on that save for hours and my other save is a few hours behind and i dont want to go through all that again
If you've saved right before you collapse from exhaustion, there's... not much that can really be done about that. It probably would have been a better idea to save before entering the desert, no?
I don't know where exactly you are standing, but try and see if you can walk to some nearby shade, like a house, or a little canyon. If you can find these locations, try walking around inside of them for a bit until your exhaustion clears.
If you can't take any more steps then you've basically save-locked yourself and you'll have to return to a prior save.
can someone tell me how to get to the bossfight of the webbed overseer? i've been to the dune in the desert and defeat the sand cobra, but i don't think i have been able to fully explore or clear the southern forest, maybe i missed something, do you need to clear that forest to get through the second big sandstorm?
The "webbed overseer" is a bit of a ways in the future. You'll get a task later to head into the southern jungle and find an 'ancient tree'. That's where you'll meet them.
You HAVE to do this task to complete the game, so don't worry, it's not missable.
weird question- but does anyone have grove save files placed right before the mopth night encounter and the dusty mine? my pc got corrupted- along with all my files, so mine are gone. thank you for the help!
They are busy focusing on their other game Prowler. Its really good and you should try it out Anyway this game wont be focused as much for a while probs
...sometime! prowler dropped, and so they're presumably going to continue work for the next update !! :3 in the meantime ive just been replaying the game lol
How does one go about finding the gallery? I've reached the end of the game, got the ending screen, been told about part 2, but I just wake up in the bedroom and that's it. No new options appear or anything.
I don't remember exactly, but I think you just need joiplay and add the ga.e to it, you need to unzip the file into a carpet and add the .exe to joiplay
Maybe you need to download a plugin to joiplay but I don't remember
I'm on mac and I'm experiencing an error when I try to open the game, after the question about enabling grapple sounds, regardless of if I choose for it to be enabled or disabled, I receive the following error, I'm unsure what to do about it.
OK, here's some instructions. Hopefully this helps you out:
First, make sure you still have the zipped Grove MacOS folder you downloaded here from Itch.io. If you deleted it or something you'll want to download it again I'm afraid...
Next, you want to make a new folder. Call it whatever you want, and you can move this wherever you want later. Open the zipped Grove file you downloaded. Open the new folder you just created. Click and drag ALL of the contents from the Grove download to your new folder. Then try running the game again.
If that doesn't work, next try unarchiving the zipped folder (navigate to the newly downloaded Grove file in the Finder app and double-click on the ZIP file. After several seconds, the file or the folder should decompress and 'unarchive' right there.) And then, using Finder, move the Grove application to the dedicated Applications folder.
yep. fear and hunger.. but instead you only have one party member and it's kink-based combat (even typing this out gave me a "This is a Bizarre Game" thought lol)
I KNEW i wasn't the only one that thought that, but in a way It really is very "similar"..... I don't know how Describe it like if If you don't think about it and throw yourself into a fight it can easily be game over, only the ability to level up helps avoid this
You need to find him in the forest! If you reach the big pool of green slime, you've gone too far.
Or if you're later in the game and he's in the river, you need to jump across the stepping stones and avoid the plants. Wait for them to go beneath the water.
I've been following the game for a while now and I just wanna say the juxtaposition of absolutely wholesome dragon moments at homebase against all the lewd, mind-corrupting monsters everywhere else is getting pretty funny.
I hope you'll keep adding to all the wonderful character and interactivity at homebase, because it's really endearing and puts GROVE above a lot of similar NSFW games in my opinion.
Thank you! We're really glad this strange contrast of attitudes is something that a lot of folks find endearing and interesting. It's something we find fun to work on ourselves.
So there'll be more of that in the future for sure, and hopefully people will continue to find it enjoyable and interesting and make the home base a relaxing place to come back to repeatedly.
I don't know how to unlock the cutscene that says [You find yourself entering a western path... and pestering a newcomer and his tent. Suddenly, your corruption flares up...]
Not this tent. It's in the area on the left of the inn. There should be a plate with a banana next to the tent (or at least close to it, if I remember correctly)
It's the bottom-right tent, but it ONLY appears for a limited time period.
The time period begins after you replace the lever and cross the bridge to the Northern Settlement, and the time period ends after you complete the "orange assignment" quest.
I've just finished the bandits camp and explored the starting area across the bridge after placing the lever in and lowering the bridge. I reached the bed rest across the initial introduction to where the desert will start. Tuon(blacksmith) has left me and returned back to the general camp. Commander of the Auxillary Division has appeared. I talked to him but didn't receive the armour to be able to enter the desert. I've talked to the wizard and blacksmith again and again so I don't know what I'm missing? The armour also isn't showing in my armoury. Please help I want to progress ;-;
Have you return from the place at the start of the game? there is a path down that leads to the jungle and had a quest there took me a bit to find it on my own but you just go back to the starting campsite and head down then to the and keep going to the ruins then go right.
From the front door of the Inn, walk ALL the way down to the bottom, then walk all the way to the left until you reach the cliffside. There's a new path heading downwards, and that's how to progress.
Also, you equip armour from the wardrobe in your room at the inn!
1.) Is this game still being developed? Saw the Dev was working on a new game (Prowler) and wondering if I should stop holding my breath. Hope not. Really like Grove so far.
2.) Is there any way moving forward that the sex wouldn't be a punishment for the player? I feel like I'm being punished for getting better at the game as I go along. Grove is actually better than most Adult games in this regard with the grapple system, but I would love to go "further" without "failing", you know?
This game is still being developed, yes! We're jumping between Prowler and Grove, and we've learned a lot of things that can help improve Grove through developing Prowler. We do hope you'll give Prowler a try when the update comes out though, if only to see what mechanics and things you might enjoy and so we can get a sense of the things to bring across to Grove.
As for sex being less of a punishment for the player, we understand what you mean and it's what stirred the initial idea of our grapple system. As for more ways... we have some ideas, but making them work with Grove's actual character and personality, and trying not to like... double our workload are considerations too. But at the very least I can say it's something we definitely do think about!
It's great to hear this game is still in development. And I understand the second bit might have been asking for more than I should. You've already done a great job with it.
Loved the game so much and impatiently waiting for the continuation! I got one question tho, when I have finished the game and unlocked the gallery, are all the chests that contain scenes should be "unlocked"? Some chests don't show me scenes but show sayings that I think are hints where I can find them. Is that so or it's just incompleted scenes? Thank you.
The chests with hints can be unlocked, their scenes are complete! You need to find them in the main game using the hints. You can use older saves to go back and get them if you need to.
I am in a location Slug cave - the underworld . On the quest “lost and found.”
I have examined the chest and armor. In both cases defeated the purple dragons. Approached the plants on the right side of the map. And tried to beat them, but no results.
I finished playing GROVE (with a taste for more) yesterday and I have to say at the moment I loved every piece of content it offers, I'm really looking forward to seeing this finished work.
Keep up the good work and take your time, good things must have their development time.
Thanks very much for both the encouragement and the patience! It's greatly appreciated, and we're super glad you enjoyed the content as much as you did!
Hoi Hoi, I had a question. So I’m making my own rpg with a lust system in it too. I was wondering how I would put it into my game. I’m making it as an rpg. I’m using rpg maker mz.
Mostly asking the grove developers since it looks like they use rpg maker
Heya, not sure what you mean by lust system, the term is quite vague and Grove doesn’t really have a ‘proper’ lust system
One way is to just use one variable to control lust and another to set the lust maximum cap. When increasing lust have a conditional to check if the current lust is higher than the cap or specific thresholds and if yes, apply your effects.
oh I meant like how grove gets aroused during certain battles. Like the dream sequence. And ok how would I go about making the variables. Or if you want I can look up how to make those in rpg maker.
Thank you for the offer. There's a lot of writing in the game so it's a big task, but if you want to give it a try, have a look into "translator++" software.
Thanks for playing our game! We're glad you enjoyed it so thoroughly!
For making translations, you'll need software like translator++. You should know there's a LOT of writing in the game though so don't feel obligated to try if it's overwhelming.
absolutly amazing game and so much fun but I'm having real problem with the jumping stones in the jungle areas I can't seem to consistently jump over the plants am I missing a trick here or is it just a skill issue?

Moblie version when?
I think they say That they weren't planning to do it, but you can use joycon or something like that was the name
Below the comments someone said how to do it, I recommend looking for it
can someone tell me how to get to the bossfight of the webbed overseer? i've been to the dune in the desert and defeat the sand cobra, but i don't think i have been able to fully explore or clear the southern forest, maybe i missed something, do you need to clear that forest to get through the second big sandstorm?

You HAVE to do this task to complete the game, so don't worry, it's not missable.
thank you so much!!!!
I can play this using JoiPlay right?
You can try, but there are certain graphical and gameplay bugs. We don't recommend it, but you can play it if you really want to.
Ok!
am so excited that the version 309 come out, i have been waiting for sooo long
怎么打过采集两个橘子返回路上的龙，我想我也许卡在这里
Try letting him Grapple you... and then use the Resist move at the right timing! You'll be able to remove parts of his clothing!
Pay attention to the dialogue, and the visual elements!
weird question- but does anyone have grove save files placed right before the mopth night encounter and the dusty mine? my pc got corrupted- along with all my files, so mine are gone. thank you for the help!
please?
when is the next update?
They are busy focusing on their other game Prowler. Its really good and you should try it out
Anyway this game wont be focused as much for a while probs
...sometime! prowler dropped, and so they're presumably going to continue work for the next update !! :3 in the meantime ive just been replaying the game lol
Tem alguma pretensão deste jogo ter idioma em português?
Sorry, we have no plans at this time...! All our translations are done by kind volunteers, and we don't have any Portuguese volunteers.
非常好游戏，使我的xp疯狂旋转XD
仅仅只是第一部分的表现就令我如此愉悦，如此杂多的“艺术”和量大管饱的剧情让我更加期待后面的故事了
不过我仍然提议在突发遭遇战（突然进入高难精英或者boss战）的时候给玩家一个存档的时间或者自动存档，因为有时候菜的一批如果不小心忘记存档就会很麻烦，以及即使又99个存档似乎还是不够我用XD；同时我也建议在重复战斗失败时加上一个“skip”键，因为有时候遇到比较难的战斗会导致重复且多次进行战斗，有些时候就有些麻烦;以及我在游玩过程中一直挺期待和友方npc们“进一步交流”，不过这一方面似乎少之又少.....不知道之后会不会推出感情线或者多结局路线呢？
最后十分感谢让我玩到这样优质又色气的游戏，希望你们能继续做下去，期待你们的更新和创作🌹
Thank you for playing and for your very kind praise!
这个CG怎么解锁？？
How does one go about finding the gallery? I've reached the end of the game, got the ending screen, been told about part 2, but I just wake up in the bedroom and that's it. No new options appear or anything.
There should be a red orb in your bedroom. Activate it to enter the gallery.
Thank you so much. I was horribly blind about 3 times and missed it xd
But now it's time to 100% part 1
How to unlock gallery functions
Complete the story
Is there a way for me to play Android?? If possible
Nope
I use joiplay to play on Android
How? Can you give instructions?
I don't remember exactly, but I think you just need joiplay and add the ga.e to it, you need to unzip the file into a carpet and add the .exe to joiplay
Maybe you need to download a plugin to joiplay but I don't remember
I just try doing it that way but I can't play it. It's said TypeError when i try to get in. Idk what to do
Let me see if I can do something, I'll let you know
I'm on mac and I'm experiencing an error when I try to open the game, after the question about enabling grapple sounds, regardless of if I choose for it to be enabled or disabled, I receive the following error, I'm unsure what to do about it.

And then, using Finder, move the Grove application to the dedicated Applications folder.
Hopefully this works for you!
would be funny if it turns out to be a furry Fear and Hunger like game (never played it yet, obviously, writing this comment)
Nothing like that really, but hopefully you enjoyed our game if you gave it a try!
yep. fear and hunger.. but instead you only have one party member and it's kink-based combat (even typing this out gave me a "This is a Bizarre Game" thought lol)

Silly little question but how do I rescue Kuno? Am I Dumb?
You need to find him in the forest! If you reach the big pool of green slime, you've gone too far.
Or if you're later in the game and he's in the river, you need to jump across the stepping stones and avoid the plants. Wait for them to go beneath the water.

I don't know how to unlock the cutscene that says [You find yourself entering a western path... and pestering a newcomer and his tent. Suddenly, your corruption flares up...]
Can you tell me if that's okay?
You need to have 10 Corruption points. When you do, repeatedly try and enter the Auxiliary Commander's tent.
Not this tent. It's in the area on the left of the inn. There should be a plate with a banana next to the tent (or at least close to it, if I remember correctly)
Do you have any of these?

Yeah i was running around for like 40 mins going to each location thinking i missed an interaction or chest. Thank you!!!
From the front door of the Inn, walk ALL the way down to the bottom, then walk all the way to the left until you reach the cliffside. There's a new path heading downwards, and that's how to progress.
Also, you equip armour from the wardrobe in your room at the inn!
Thank youuu >~> I got to the jungle location now. Literal lifesavers!!!
Just finished everything I could in .308
Was kind of wondering two things:
1.) Is this game still being developed? Saw the Dev was working on a new game (Prowler) and wondering if I should stop holding my breath. Hope not. Really like Grove so far.

It's great to hear this game is still in development. And I understand the second bit might have been asking for more than I should. You've already done a great job with it.
I'll have to give prowler a try.

Good luck with going for 100%!
Room for future expansion.
I have examined the chest and armor. In both cases defeated the purple dragons. Approached the plants on the right side of the map. And tried to beat them, but no results.
Can you please tell me what to do next?
You need to approach the pile of wood on the left. You'll make an item, which can then be used to pass the plants on the right.
I finished playing GROVE (with a taste for more) yesterday and I have to say at the moment I loved every piece of content it offers, I'm really looking forward to seeing this finished work.
Keep up the good work and take your time, good things must have their development time.

If you need someone to help translating this game to Korean I’d be happy to help! I’d love to see this game in my language~
Thank you for the offer. There's a lot of writing in the game so it's a big task, but if you want to give it a try, have a look into "translator++" software.
Adding slimes that force themselves down your gullet and slowly corrupt you from the inside out would be pretty cool
Just recently playing it and ohmygod I love it, like seriously! Well crafted, easy to understand combat system, niche kinks, and graphics are 10/10 :)
And whilst playing it I was thinking, can I make cz language version? If so, how should I start?
Thanks for playing our game! We're glad you enjoyed it so thoroughly!
For making translations, you'll need software like translator++. You should know there's a LOT of writing in the game though so don't feel obligated to try if it's overwhelming.
absolutly amazing game and so much fun but I'm having real problem with the jumping stones in the jungle areas I can't seem to consistently jump over the plants am I missing a trick here or is it just a skill issue?
There's a trick to it. Just observe the plants. See how they move up and down? You need to jump when they're down, under the water.
Hope that helps you progress and continue to enjoy our game!
When can it be updated? I can't wait any longer
Sorry, we don't have a date yet.
There will be an update for our second game soon. It is called Prowler. Maybe you would enjoy playing it whilst waiting for Grove.
what a pity!
This game has no right being "free" for how much content there is, so I donated. Excellent work from everyone who worked on this!
PS More slimes and plant latchers in the update? O.O
Thanks very much for the kind words and generous donation! We really appreciate that, truly~
Can't spoil content for upcoming updates, but we'll do our best to make it something enjoyable!
Are there any enemy defeat scenes? And is there a way to surrender?
Uh... yes. And not specifically 'surrender' but plenty of ways to give up in combat and let enemies have fun with you.
No offence but did you actually try the game before asking these questions? These things are PRETTY apparent within a few minutes of starting.
Yeah i played a bit before sorry for asking something pretty obvious been a while since i last had played
Game so good it made me realize I was bisexual 👍
Well alright then! You're welcome, I think?
